All The C0mpOsitOrS Negroes.

Columbia, S. c., July 21.-TEe
state press is very much agitated ov-
er the discovery that one of the leading
county papers of the state, the Able
vile Press and Banner, is printed
exclusively by negro compositors.
A very hot editorial was written up
on the subject of the editor. who
made the discovery that ''for the
sake of cheap labor the young white
men were crowded out Of a field of
industry peculiarly their own" An
other newspaper thought it degre-
dation of an honorable business and
declared it's intention of having
nothing to do with newspaper ed
tied by white man aud set by ne
groes."
Several other journal have follow
ed the lead of the paper which start
ed the boycott, and much editorial
space is devoted to the mat
ter. These journals consider the
Press and Banner particularly unjus-
tifable, as it has always been a fero-
cious enemy of negro education.
The Press and Banner declared that
it is working for the almighty dollar,
and proposes to have the cheapest
and most satisfactory labor, without
regard to the boycott. 1t is some
what singular that the Baptist Tri-
bune, the largest colored organ in
the State, edited by two colored
men, should be printed exclusively
by white compositors.

An exchange tells of funny little
circumstance that is going the
rounds of the Iowa papers, and IS
to have occurred in Davenport. A
certain lady suspected that her nus
band was in the habit of kissing the
pretty German servant girl, and re-
solved to detect him in the act At
ter watching for over a week she
heard him come in one evening and
quietly pass through to the kitchen.
Now the pretty servant girl was out
that evening and the kitchen was
dark Burning with jealousy the
wife took some matches in her hand
and placing the shawl over her head
as the servant often did, she entered
the kitchen by the back, and was al
most instantly seized, embraced and
kissed in the most ardent manner.
With heart almost burning with
rage and jealousy the injured wife
prepared to administer a most terri
BILE rebuke to her faithless spouse.
Tearing herself loose from his en-
brace, she struck match and found
herself face to face with the pretty
German girls beau, one of the rail-
road.:boys. Her husband says that
his wife has not treated him so well
since the day they We're married as
she has the past few days.

Sure to be Reelected.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 27.-''It will
be impossible to..defeat Grover Cleve-
land in the next campaign" said
General Clinton B. Fisk, of New
Jersey, the well-known prohibition
ist to-day, land it makes no difference
whom the republicans may put up
against him, be it Blaine or Sherman.
His administration has been a most
successful one in every respect and
has Injured more to the prosperity of
the country than would have been
the case with Mr.. Blaine in the
White house. Naturally the prohi-
bitionists take a great deal of credit
to themselves for defeating Blaine,
and with the so-called mugwumps
they would take a pride in repeating
the experiment in 1888. The pre-
hibitionists and labor party will
oli StltltAi>ahtC uhiNA
go into the next presidential canvass
with renewed confidence. But with
all this against..him, I repeat that no
candidate can beat the incumbent of
the White house who had taken such
firm hold upon the affections of
the people that they will have none
other than himself for their chief
magistrate. Then, too, Mrs. Cleve-
land is going to be of incalculable
benefit to her husband, for she is
everywhere regarded as "a typical
American woman and one whom the
country should delight to keep in
the position of the first lady of the
land"

Bob Burdette, the genial humor-
ist of the Brooklyn Eagle, was as
gallant a beardless boy as wore the
blue during the late unpleasantness.
Bob is still a brave and generous
fellow. In reference to the Gettys-
burg reunion, he has this to say:
''These boys in gray are more than
foemen worthy of steel; they are our
countrymen and brothers-fesh OF
our flesh and bone of our bone.
They come to us with the song of
patriotism on their lips and the fires
of patriotism in their hearts. Their
presence signifies that the broken
chain has been welded never to be
broken again; that the nation which
begun its march at Yorktown took
up the line of an even grander march
at Appomatox; that the ties of a
common hope and a common desti-
ny bind the east and west, the north
and south together, and that the re.
public has at last found a secure
sanctuary in the hearts of all he,
children"

A Plea for the Bang.

Mrs. Sidgwick says that the fe-
male students known 10 her who de
voted themselves to the higher ed
ucation ..have shown no indication to
adopt masculine sentiments or habits
in any unnecessary or unseemly de
gree" Yet it cannot be denied re-
marks the epoch. that at some of the
colleges for women the majority OF
the students show considerable in
difference to certain feminine arts of
department and ornamentatlon which
men always admire. This may be
bv means of All illustration which
NAV seem trivial but which. neyerthe-
less, is suggestive. Avery high broad
forehead is not beautiful in woman.
As Leigh Hunt rnmarks. "A3slarge
bare forehead gives a woman mas
culine and defying look. The word
.effrontery' comes from it. The
hair should be brought over such a
forehead as vines are trailed over a

of young women who graduated at
Wellesley this year is characterized
by remarkable breadth and fullness
of the forehead unconcealed by any

The Editor Was Diving.

The owner of paper lay dying in
his lair, and the dew of death had
gathered on his brow so calm and
fair; but printer knelt beside him,
as his life-blood ebbed away, and
asked the dying writer if he had a
word to say. The doomed man
murmured softly, as he grabbed the
printers fist: swell, at last the
struggles over, and / never will be
missed. Take message and a
token to that city man of mine, that
all his .worn-out chestnuts he had
better put in brine. There's his joke
about the weather, which he's used
these many years, and the gag about
the fellow who is always hunting
beers. And the item, he's so fond
of, on the man who peddles books,
and the chestnut based on people
who go fishing at the brooks; just to
save the papers credit, and to cast
no slurs on mine, I would ask him
as favor just to put such gags in
brine. And the lie he's fond of tell
ing; of the street-cars and the tracks,
and the ancient joke about the man
who steps upon some tacks, and the
one about some dandy who will never
pay for clothes, and the one on
women cleaning house-it's weary,
heaven knows. Oh, 1 know I'll
slumber happy in my grave beneath
the vine, if the man who does the
city work will put these jokes in
brine. Tell the man who tends to
business not to weep when 1 am
dead, but to buy himself club and
hit the first man on the head who
comes in with strings of items and
requests them printed free, when the
regular rates are cheaper than they
really ought to be. Tell the foreman
when he makes up not to turn a rule
for me, but to simply print an item
saying that my soul is free; for I
want no eulogistic taffy of that kind
In mine, and I think such hoary
chestnuts should be picked well in
brine. Have that gay and fresh re-
porter l engaged the other day put
stop to saying 'Selah, also We
have come to stay; and if he should
say We local you must trample in
his gore. for you know I'd ne'er al
low it in the happy days of yore.
And the man who comes to tell you
how to run the paper well. should
be greeted when he enters with a
pewter chestnut bell; and dyou Il print
the paper promptly, be the weather
